The real heiress's image collapsed after being subjected to mind reading.

Summary

The chapter begins with the Gu family preparing for the New Year, with the old master and lady insisting on doing many things themselves to create the spirit of the New Year. Gu Xi Zhi declines an invitation from Zhang Qi to stay home and take care of the old master. Meanwhile, the lady and the steward are checking the preparations for the New Year goods, and the servants are helping Uncle Wang in the kitchen. Gu Xi Zhi is helping the old lady check the quality of the prepared New Year goods, while Gu Jiang Yuan is chatting with Sang Yan Che online. Gu Jiang Yuan suddenly bursts into laughter and starts asking Gu Xi Zhi geography questions, which she refuses to answer. He eventually shares a joke about the White Snake and Green Snake from the Legend of the White Snake, which Gu Xi Zhi doesn't find funny. Gu Jiang Yan walks down the stairs, dressed in a black down jacket, and announces that he needs to step out. The old lady turns her head away, refusing to look at him. Before leaving, he gives Gu Xi Zhi a gift - a butterfly hairpin with precious pink diamonds. Gu Xi Zhi is delighted with the gift and teases her brother about his change in behavior. The chapter ends with Gu Si Rou waking up late and getting ready to go out, while Gu Xi Zhi is enjoying the first batch of fried lotus root slices coming out of the kitchen.
